Worship - It’s All About Jesus  

​

We are unwavering in our belief that everything begins and ends with Jesus. Our commitment is to know Him and make Him known.  Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me." - John 14:6 NLT . “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” - Revelation 22:13

 

Value - Everyone is Significant 

​

Wherever you are from, whatever your age or background, you are far from ordinary. We value everyone and believe in your potential.  “Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it!”- Psalm 139:14

 

“Dear friends, we are already God’s children, but He has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But, we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as He really is. And all who have this eager expectation will keep themselves pure, just as He is pure.” - 1 John 3:2-3

​

Faith - All Things Are Possible

​

We believe in putting God-sized dreams into real-life action. We are right at home in deep uncharted waters, where prayer guides and faith sustains us.

“With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” - Matt 19:26

“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” - Hebrews 11:6

​

We have learned that God is not…never has been…looking for what is “humanly possible.”

With that kind of potential…we aggressively seek after everything we can understand to enjoy the benefits of this amazing principle in God’s kingdom!

​

Community - Together is Better

​

Authentic life-change happens in the context of relationships.  Christianity will NEVER work going solo.  “Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And, let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.” - Hebrews 10:24-25

“He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.” - Ephesians 4:16 

​

Discipleship - Healthy People Grow

​

We celebrate the processes that build healthy people and healthy ministries. We are a life-giving church that embraces change and facilitates growth.

“Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.” - Colossians 2:7 

“Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.” -  Colossians 1:10

​

Service - Saved People Serve People

​

Life is more fulfilling when serving others. Our focus starts with our church, extends to our community and reaches the nations. It's the natural progression of a changed life.

“And, He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.’”
- Mark 16:15

“For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.” - Ephesians 2:10

​

Excellence - If it’s Worth Doing, it’s Worth Doing it Right

​

The only appropriate response to a God who gave us His best is to give Him our best. Our dedication to God shows in all we do. Mediocrity is not an option.

“Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.” - Colossians 3:23 

“So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.” - 1 Corinthians 15:58 

 

Generosity - Generosity Speaks

​

The time, talent and treasure God has blessed us with is to be used to bless others. Living a generous life expands our world view and motivates us to be like Jesus.

“The world of the generous gets larger and larger; the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller. The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped.”
- Proverbs 11:24-25 MSG

“And, I have been a constant example of how you can help those in need by working hard. You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” - Acts 20:35

 

Teamwork – God’s Best is working with others!

​

Two are better off than one, because together they can work more effectively. If one of them falls down, the other can help him up. But if someone is alone and falls, it’s just too bad, because there is no one to help him. If it is cold, two can sleep together and stay warm, but how can you keep warm by yourself Two people can resist an attack that would defeat one person alone. A rope made of three cords is hard to break. - Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

 

Training Leaders – It’s about multiplication!

​

There is a leader in you waiting to be trained to fulfill your God given potential so that we can make a difference in other people’s lives.  We are where we are today because of the process Jesus began with the 12 disciples.

​

“When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. He told them: Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt. Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them. So they set out and went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.” - Luke 9:1-6
